Definitely, the Sig 226 is number one for this guy. From your list, I also have the 92, Glock 17, HK P30, and even the CZ75, for nines. All have great features and would not part with any of them, as they are all fun to shoot!

Good post...I think if you post this in one year from now the results will be different....If the military truly adopts the 320 as their primary sidearm it will change everything as far as accessories and number of 320 shooters etc. I also love the P226 but the 320 is a step above in almost every way. Modular,trigger,grip flexibility,ease of maintenance etc. This is not to denigrate the other guns in the survey but right now the 320 is headed in the right direction. Just my opinion of course. This gun is so easy to shoot well and is still being developed by GG and Sig as to fine tuning that I cant wait to see where it goes.

Out of that list, I've had all of them except for the 320.
They've all been great so I couldn't pick one.

Tough to choose between the Beretta and the P226. Real close but I chose the SIG. Might that change when (and IF) my Brig Tac ever arrives? Let's see...... Legion vs. Brig Tac??

Beretta 92

CZ-75

If I could consider the S&W 5904 full size I have a four way split.

I voted "Other" for the CZ75-based family of 9mm pistols

I voted for the Beretta 92 but I could just as easily have voted for the P226 on another day. They're about even to me.

Of the pistols listed, I chose the Beretta 92.

Agree with timber, hi-power = original wonder nine. I should have said glock but old habits die hard.....

I own all of them except for the P320 and they are all good choices but the Glock 17 gen4 is my favorite of all.

For a full size, I've really been bonding with the classic Browning Hi-Power. What a great platform; nothing feels as good in the hand. Although you may want to put some new grips (Spegels, Hogue G-10s or slim Navridex) and a trigger job (or remove the magazine disconnect.)

Best full size platform for what, or based on what? Cost? Durability? Accuracy? Ergonomics? Maintenance? Competition? Capacity? Support? Aftermarket options? Reliability? Availability? Resale value? Reputation? History? Intended use?
